Scientists say they have developed a memory-restoring prosthetic for the human brain

Scientists may have just developed the first successful memory-restoring prosthetic for the human brain. Using technology that can truly be called a “brain hack,” they report being able to boost memory by about 35% over a baseline measurement. This first-of-its-kind implant study took a novel approach to restoring memory. Rather than try to reverse memory loss, the prosthetic enhances existing memory-making ability by “writing code” into the brain’s memory system.
